House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was caught in a big lie on Thursday.
The California Republican denied a New York Times report that he told GOP leaders he would advise former President Donald Trump to resign after the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, calling it “totally false and wrong.”
Just hours later, however, New York Times reporters Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin released audio of McCarthy saying exactly that during a phone call with Republican leaders on Jan. 10, 2021. On MSNBC, the Times journalists said there was a lot more where that came from.
Now, McCarthy’s critics are calling him out over it.
A.B. Stoddard, a columnist at the conservative website RealClearPolitics, described it as an “amazing, breathtaking failure” and proof McCarthy is “simply too stupid” to become speaker of the House.
“The idea that he put out an emphatic denial just hours ago to be upped like this with tapes just hours later is truly just an epic embarrassment to the Republicans and to the man who’s been trying to be speaker for all these years now,” she said.

PROBABLY taken out of context....
Don’t tell me there are still conservative rubes stupid enough to be surprised by this. He’s DC GOP Oligarchial Scum, just like 95+% of all GOP swirling around in the DC toilet.

Eight Commandments of the Left - Explains Everything They Say and Do (info-vanity)
I Thou shalt create an illusion of invulnerability shared by most members to foster excessive optimism and encourage extreme risks taking
II Thou shall not allow any member to question the group’s inherent morality, instead members shall be encouraged to ignore the ethical or moral consequences of their decisions
III Thou shalt promote collective efforts to rationalize in order to discount warnings, or other information that might lead members to reconsider their assumptions before they recommit themselves to their assumptions
IV Thou shalt reinforce stereotyped views of enemy leaders as too evil to warrant genuine attempts to negotiate, or as too weak and stupid to counter whatever risky attempts are made to defeat their purpose
V Thou shalt self-censor any deviation from the apparent group consensus, inclining each member to minimize the importance of their doubts and counterarguments
VI Thou shalt create and maintain a shared illusion of unanimity concerning judgement conforming to the majority view
VII Thou shalt apply direct pressure on any member who expresses strong arguments against any of the group’s stereotypes, illusions, or commitments, making clear that this type of dissent is contrary to what is expected of all loyal members
VIII Thou shalt appoint mindguards to protect the group from adverse information that might shatter their shared complacency about the effectiveness and morality of their decisions

MCCarthy is just another run-of-the-mill swamp creature. He showed this bent a long time ago....
Turns out he lied to the Times. Haha. So what? I don't care when any politician lies to a media outlet. I don't care when Biden lies to my face during a press conference. Lying is part of political life. Nobody cares.
When it comes to the ny slimes, anything is possible - including a doctored and edited tape. I don’t need their tape to make me know McCarthy isn’t the one for the job. He needs to focus on winning in November and shutting down the demonkrap voting fraud and rigging machine. But he isn’t, he is dividing the spoils before the victory. We don’t need him as a leader. We need the right people, who will do the right thing as soon as they go to DC and not cave in to the media, the deep state and demonikraps.
RETIRE NOW, RINO!
Hopefully Trump will come out against him. I know Mark Levin has supported him.
They’ve got waves of conservative young leaders behind them that our side is still deluded about.
Why does non of this surprise me. Stupid Morgan just did a interview with Trump and tried to make it look like he just stormed off. And Trump was recording also. Made Morgan look stupid. Trump needs to record everything.
“He’s DC GOP Oligarchial Scum, “
That is weirdly mellifluous…
How is A.B. Stoddard working *there*? She’s no conservative.
“Mind guards.” Heh.
...
A B Stoddard, a columnist for the “conservative” Real Clear Politics????
A B is one of the most sour pussed anti=everything individuals I have ever seen.
He is too stupid to be Speaker. He was too stupid before this tape issue occurred.
Will never happen. Our government is corrupt period. DC corrupts absolutely. There is money to be made and whoever ends up in DC gets the money.
...and odoriferous.
That's the relevant question.
